Manchester City have entered the race to sign RB Leipzig’s Xavi Simons, threatening to derail Chelsea’s ongoing pursuit of the Dutch attacker. The Citizens, preparing for Savinho’s likely departure, have made contact with Simons’ camp in an attempt to lure him away. The Blues remain in talks over a £60 million ($80.5m) deal, but City’s late involvement could complicate matters.
Chelsea have wasted no time in turning down Borussia Dortmund’s latest offer for Carney Chukwuemeka, with the proposal labelled ‘insulting’ by the club. The Blues are prioritising player sales to make room for top targets Xavi Simons and Alejandro Garnacho, and have fielded interest from several other clubs for the unwanted 20-year-old midfielder.
Tottenham have reportedly shifted their focus to AS Monaco’s rising star Maghnes Akliouche after Arsenal hijacked their move for Eberechi Eze in brutal fashion. The deal, which Spurs insiders believed was all but wrapped up, was snatched away at the eleventh hour, plunging them into chaos and igniting fury among already restless supporters.
Tottenham Hotspur are hoping to hijack Chelsea's move for Xavi Simons after missing out on signing Eberechi Eze, who joined their arch-rivals Arsenal. The Blues have been interested in Simons for quite some time now, while the Dutch international is also keen on moving to Stamford Bridge. However, with Chelsea also showing interest in Fermin Lopez, Spurs could swoop in and secure Simons' transfer.
Tottenham have reportedly sent a bid close to €70 million (£60m/$82m) for RB Leipzig star, Xavi Simons, as Thomas Frank's side aim to beat Chelsea to the Netherlands international. The 21-year-old has already been granted permission to skip training and fly to London to sort out his future, setting up a high-stakes tug-of-war before the deadline.
Tottenham Hotspur have submitted an initial €60 million (£51.8m/$70m) bid with RB Leipzig to sign Xavi Simons before the September 1 transfer deadline. The transfer fee could potentially increase to €70m (£60.5m/$81.7m) if all the bonuses are achieved. Spurs are moving aggressively in the transfer market as they look to beat Premier League rivals Chelsea in the race.
